Imagine a denture that doesn't rub against your gums, stays in place like your natural teeth, and doesn't require any adhesive. Millions of people around the world still unfortunately struggle with old, uncomfortable acrylic dentures that often fall out when they talk, ruin the natural taste of delicious food, and make them feel quite self-conscious about their smile. Everyone mistakenly thinks it's always been this way and always will be.

But in the year 2025, there is a truly innovative denture that effectively solves these significant problems, and very few people currently know about it. Today you'll find out what this denture is and how to determine if it's right for you. Let's start by saying that in this video we'll be discussing the clinical situation where a patient has no teeth at all or where the remaining teeth need to be completely removed.

Previously and even now to be honest this problem is solved in a very standard classic and traditional way. This is a removable acrylic denture. It's also called a plate denture, a plastic denture, the very traditional one that, as they say, grandma puts in a glass. This was the only way to solve the problem of missing teeth with this type of denture. But this type of denture has certain drawbacks. The first issue, of course, is getting used to it.

It's very difficult to get accustomed to this type of denture, to the denture or the process itself. The second issue is chafing. The denture often causes irritation and gets in the way. And most importantly, there's the issue of it falling out. So the main discomfort is, of course, when the denture doesn't stay in place. That's why these dentures have gained a reputation for being very outdated and let's say quite ancient.

But in reality, that's not entirely true. Nevertheless, that's precisely why specifically for patients who are extremely exhausted from wearing such dentures or for those individuals who are generally apprehensive of this particular type of dental prostthesis because they simply cannot tolerate it and are concerned they won't become accustomed to it. The all-on four technology was pioneered but with a removable denture system.

That is we place four implants. The patient is free to go for up to 6 months anywhere from 3 to 6 months and then a removable denture is made but it's supported by implants and in this way we avoid the main issues. The first is retention. The removable denture is securely fixed for the patient. Adaptation is let's say the fastest almost instantaneous. And the biggest advantage is that the removable denture, especially when we're talking about the upper jaw, is very neatly fixed in the form of an arch.

It's discreet, doesn't cover the pallet, and doesn't cause any irritation. That's why an alternative is removable prosthetics on implants. Another advantage of this prosthetic method on four implants, specifically I emphasize on four implants with a removable denture, is that the patient can take care of this denture themselves. that is they can remove it calmly clean it twice a day and then reattach it without worrying that something will fall out without using any additional fixing creams and can use and wear this denture with ease.

In fact, this type of denture is rarely discussed or offered because most of the time any technology, specifically the allon four concept is associated with a fixed denture that only the doctor can remove in the chair once every 6 months or once a year using special screws. But no, there is an alternative in the form of a removable denture on implants. You said that you can remove this removable denture on four implants at home.

How is that possible? Well, actually the design of this denture was created that way. It has a receiving part and let's say a base part, the foundation. In other words, the design itself is made so that it snaps right into place. You need a certain amount of force to seat the denture and the same amount of force to remove it. So everything for this has been thought out and developed. It's basically a locking mechanism.

You snap it on and just as easily you unsnap it and take it off. It's all very convenient and doesn't require any special skills. The patient learns this literally in just a few days. And I'd like to add something. This all-on four technology, which often involves a removable denture, is certainly quite expensive. And for some patients, it's honestly just completely unaffordable. However, the significant issues of aesthetics and chewing function still need to be adequately addressed somehow.

And this is a crucial consideration. So, you absolutely shouldn't, let's say, dismiss or categorically refuse this particular type of prosthetics. Fortunately, for many many decades now, the most classic and reliably effective method of prosthetics has been when a patient typically gets a conventional removable plate, plastic or acrylic denture. These are all names for the same type of denture and that's absolutely normal and most importantly, it's actually very economical and budget friendly.

There are also patients for whom implants are simply not an option. Either the patient is terribly afraid of them or due to medical reasons, there is simply nowhere to place the implants because there is no bone. And of course, for such patients, there is only one alternative, a removable denture. If you want the next video on the topic, is it possible to restore all your teeth in one day?
